As the teen librarian here at the Pawtucket Public Library (Pawtucket, RI) I talk to the kids who come in the library, help them find books, suggest stuff to read and plan programs. Of course I'm not always at the desk so the blog is a way to still get the word out on what's happening in the library, what I'm reading and what's new.

Trust me, even though I am a librarian and like to read, I know that few people want to complete reading assignments over the summer. But since most schools require some reading during vacation, wouldn't it be nice to get an extra reward for the effort?

Well, that's the idea behind the new Teen Summer Reading program. It's part of Teen Tuesdays @ the Library. Starting June 15 at 6 pm, every Tuesday there will be something: movies, crafts, games. And, as always, it's free and fun!

But to get credit for the reading you're doing for school, you need to sign up with me beginning June 15, check back with me when you've finished a book, fill out a short form and pick up a prize or two! Sounds simple, right? Well, it is but it's a new program so it may take time to work out the details.

About Me

You'll find me in the Teen Zone, which is on the second floor of the Pawtucket Public Library. Part of my job is choosing books for the library and setting up programs for teens and talking to teens about books!
